ATTACHMENT FOR WATER-CLOSET SEATS.

1,030,720. Speitlcation of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES on QUILL- rnm'r, a citizen of the UnitedStates of America, residing in Amityville, in the county of Suffolk andState of New York, have invented certain new and-useful Improvements inAttachments for Waterspecification.

This invention relates to an improved attachment for water-closet seatsby which a sheet of toilet paper is placed over the seat for use inpublic or semi-public places, the sheet being unrolled and provided withan opening corresponding to the opening of the seat and capable of beingremoved so as to supply a new covering sheet to the seat; and for thispurpose the invention consists of a toilet paper attachment forwater-closet seats, which comprises a suitably supported round mandrelat the rear of'the seat for supporting a roll of toilet papercorresponding to the width of theseat, and a square mandrel supported inbrackets below the front edge of the seat and adapted for winding up theseat-covering toilet paper be tween each use of the toilet, the toiletpaper having one end provided with a paper shell that is slipped overthe round rear-mandrel ,of the seat and the other end of the paper beingprovided with a square shell which is applied on the square winding-upmandrel so as to permit the rolling up of the seatcovering paper on thefront mandrel or shaft and the unwinding of the same from the rearroller, the square front mandrel being provided with a knurledhand-wheel or button for turning the same and with means for locking themandrel to the bracket at the outer end vof the roll, as will be fullydescribed hereinafter and finally In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1represents a perspective view-of a water closet with my lmprovedcovering toilet paper attachment for the seat; Fig: 2 is a verticallongitudinal section of the same, showing the cover in open position;Fig. 3 is a plan-view of Fig. 1; Fig. dis a vertical used withattachment; Fig. 5 is a detailed section of the locking-device betweenthe shaft or mandrel and the bracket at the 6 and 7 are sectional viewstaken respectively on the lines 6-6 and 7-7 of Fig. 5; Similarletters ofreference indicate corresponding parts throughout the differentfiguresof the drawings. a Referring to the drawings, a represents thebowl ofthe water-closettoilet, b the seat which ishinged to the rearportion of the bowl, and c is the cover which is hinged to the rear endof the seat. The pivot pintles of the seat are formed into brackets d,provided'with eyes 03 in which is a round rear mandrel d on which thetoilet paper is placed. T he bracket has a certain resiliency forpermitting the removal of the eyes from the end of the mandrel whenplacing a new roll of seat-covering paper on to the same. The pivot-pinsbetween the seat and the cover are made in the form of detachable screwsor pins, so as to permit the removal of the cover and the spreading ofthe toilet paper over the seat for applying it to a square front mandrela which is supported in brackets 6' attached to the underside of theseat at the front end of the same. seat and cover are made of oblongshape, so as to permit. the convenient attachment of the brackets andfront mandrel to the un-, derside of the seat. A roll of toilet paper fof sufiicient length is made up specially for the attachment in the formof multiples of seat-covering sections, each section being provided withthe usual opening f corresponding to the opening in the seat and .fiap

Thesquare mandrel is provided at its end with a knurled button 9 for theconvenient turning of the mandrel and shell and moving one seat-coveringsection of toilet paper after the other over the seat. suitablemanipulating devices such a as a hand-wheel or crank may be used. Thefront mandrel is locked to the bracket by a Patented June 25,1912.

The bracket 6' is provided with diametrically disposed notches 6 adaptedtopermit the passage of the screw lugs n screwed into the bearingportion g and adapted to en; gage the inner face of the bracket 6'.These lugs are disposed between the notches 6 when the finger k is inthe position shown in Fig. 6 and by the dotted lines of Fig. 7, thuspreventing the removal of the knurled button and with it the squaremandrel c.

When it is desired to remove the square mandrel the finger is turned tothe position of the full lines of Fig. 7 thus permitting the registeringof the lugs n with the notches e and the passage of the lugs n throughthe notches e. The button 9 and the square mandrel are held together bya small square The improved toilet paper attachment for water-closetshas to be furnished together with the seat and-cover, so as to beattached to water-closets in public or semi-public places. A number oftoilet paper-rolls are supplied at the same time, one being attached tothe rear mandrel and passed over the seat withthe first section inposition thereon upon which the square shell at the outer end of theroll is placed in position on the square front mandrel so as to form thefront roller on which the paper is gradually wound up as the same isconsumedby use. A new section is moved over the seat by turning thefront roller, When the en-' tire roll is used up the roll is removedfrom the mandrels at both the front and rear part of the seat and a newroll placed in position on the rear and front mandrels by removing therear mandrel, placing it through the inthe I the tollet paper attachmentis in position I I for use, a new section being supplied after each useof the closet;

- Having thus described my invention, I
